The aim of this study was to assess the natural grassland regions for livestock production in the highlands of Eastern Turkey by utilizing Remote Sensing (RS) techniques and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications. It was concluded that the natural grasslands make up 2/3 of the whole study area in Kars province. However, in terms of plant cover density this only accounts for 1/3rd of the entire area. In other words, just 181 275.7 hectares out of a total of 638 393.5 hectares of grassland are in a better state for cattle grazing. Finally, digital maps of the greatest quality grasslands were produced.
